The Changes of TGF-α, TGF-β_1 and Basic FGF Messenger RNA Expression in Rabbit Cornea after Photorefractive Keratectomy

摘要

Objective: To study the mechanism of haze formation and investigate the expression changes of transforming growth factor-α(TGF-α), transforming growth factor-β_1 (TGF-β_1) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) mRNA in corneal epithelium and stroma after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Methods Sixteen white rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups, and PRK was per- Formed on each eye of 12 rabbits.
